Intros should look like:

1. "Hi my name is..."
2. "I love playing <InsertGame>"
Optional 3 if its MTG: "I got back into it through <Insert UB>" 😜

Should we adopt introductions like this... but isn't what we do on our free time give a better picture of who we are? Or is that too revealing?

Feeling inspired by @strixhavendropout.bsky.social article:

"The Top 4 Times Magic Learned To Be Inclusive"

A peak into the inclusive decisions that WOTC had implemented... into THEIR PRODUCTs. The history and articles by @shivambhatt.bsky.social stirred me. Great read. 😭

What if in MTG, we had a tradition of challenging each other to a duel, and whoever wins gets the loser’s playmat… lol.

I think it's important that I have a pile of cards that they can play with it, draw on & be around. Just being exposed to Papa’s hobby & not seen as a nuisance is how I want my kids to feel around my office. #mtg #dadlife

After 11 years of marriage, the darkly comedic fights fueled by sparks of miscommunications & petty selfishness, submerged in an ocean of love, mixed in with raising two humans… makes The Roses the most relatable, fun & dark romantic comedy I’ve enjoyed in years. Cumberbatch x Colman *chef’s 😘

After 5 years I finally updated my gaming keyboard… unfortunately the AULA F75 Pro Mechanical Keyboard, feels so sturdy & sounds so addictively good, i might switch my Logitech MX keyboard out for it too… #gears #gamingrig

Last night I had to choose between $50 in fast food burgers… or bite the bullet and make some ramen for less than $15! Took longer but the wife & kiddos loved it

Secret Lair must have heard the groans from fans of Monster Hunter and MTG fans. I don't know if its a win, but I hope WOTC and considers slowing down and making more of these SL drops, fan-focused, lore applicable & accessible for all collectors/gamers/newbies. #secretlair

Release Day for Avatar x MTG, but I'm choking up from this moving & poignant unboxing of the ATLA Collector Box from @tolariancommunitycollege.com as the Prof reflects on the Aang Neon Ink Foil he pulled.

🫡Prof you're a real one. #transrights @translifeline.org 🏳️‍⚧️
